“I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!”

The Story Behind the Print
A digitally colored interpretation of The Codfish, Plate 58 A, from the U.S. Fish Commission's 1884 fisheries plate volume. The color is a modern treatment of the historical drawing, with the original linework, caption, and plate number retained.
A clean lateral cod portrait keeps the dorsal fins, scale bar, scientific caption, and plate number visible. The complete composition is presented on a balanced landscape sheet.
Offered in 8 × 6, 12 × 9, and 16 × 12 inch paper sizes. Choose Print Only or a ready-to-hang Satin Black, Slimwood Silver, or Slimwood Gold frame, without a mat. Sizes refer to the paper; the frame adds to the overall dimensions.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished print.

From our collectors
“This is truly a high quality, authentic print of Texas, we LOVE it! We went with the big 48 x 36 print and it looks amazing. Justin was great to work with and very quick to answer my questions. Shipping was fast too. All around, we are more than happy with our purchase!”
“Love it!! I don’t know how they did it, but they manage to make the map look old and like something from a museum. The frame is gorgeous. Shipped fast and was very carefully packaged so it arrived in perfect condition. Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! Thanks!!”
